Luciano Boglione, Ph.D.

Luciano Boglione was born in Turin, Italy, where he received his Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 1991. He worked in Turin for two years in a power supply company.

In 1994, he joined the Institute of Microwaves, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Leeds, UK, to work on his PhD on the problem of simultaneous signal and noise match at the input port of low noise amplifiers. A new design technique that requires no input matching circuit stemmed from his work which found recognition in a number of IEEE publications.

After receiving his doctorate degree in 1998, he moved to Boston, to work as a senior circuit designer in the semiconductor industry. In this capacity, he worked with a number of technologies (SiGe InP, GaAs HBT; GaAs HEMT; GaAs MESFET; Si CMOS) bringing designs from conception to characterization.

In 2007, he has joined the University of Massachusetts, Lowell as assistant professor. He has been involved with the MTT Society since 1999 and covered a number of volunteer positions in the Boston local chapter, the RFIC symposium (General Chair, 2007), the International Microwave Symposium and other MTT–S sponsored conferences. He is an elected member of the administrative committee of the IEEE MTT Society for the term 2007–2009.
